The students and staff of our Hive partner @youthbuildphl are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with their favorite cultural foods. Young people’s connections to their communities are paramount for positive development, and pride in cultural identity goes a long way. Talk about a hunger … for learning!

When we support our young people in #adolescence, we help their dreams take flight while strengthening our communities. Hear from Vrishab about the importance of listening to young people: #PositiveDevelopment #youngpeople

Teens thrive when they have safe spaces to explore their talents and find their purpose. Let’s create spaces for our young people to unleash their potential. #positivedevelopment
